European larch No. 03 - Smrekovec opadavý č.3

I always wanted to have a nice larch. I lost two little pieces, when I used to grow my plants on my balcony. This garden material I received from a colleague in r. 2009-2010. It was about 1.8 to 2 meters long. I cut it hardly and planted right into the pot. Inicial styling- branch positioning and wiring was made in 2010. This winter I decided to style it again. I wired and slightly bend all branches. Main problematic part of the trunk is missing tapering shape. Top of the tree will be changed into deadwood in summer 2013, to solve this problem. Eventually I´m planning to create more dramatic composition of this larch. I hope it would look some day like an old tree with many dead branches, and trunk scarred by a lightning strike.
